Republican Con volition.
R. R. Tolbert, I. M. Collins aud W. H. Ix?mai
were delegates to the Republican Stale
Cooveutlon which met in Columbia last week.
Tbe cou vention adopted a platform endorsing
McKlnley, and Intimated that the Democratic
party was composed of a bad lot general ly.
The con vent Iom seemed to think that, under
the reslstration'aivB. good citlz-ju* were etnharraxKt-il
lu discharging the hUhe^t r gilts of J
American oit'zsmshlp. The p'alform endorsed
the proposliioii for building a navy. Lynching
was deplored aud the platform suggested
that the crime wtilch usually causes it be
abated. The platform builders prelerred to
bejtrled by the courts, rather than by the mobwhen
offenses were to be Investigated.
Tbe Appolntmeul of .Muster.
Governor -McSweeney has been asked to appoint
a Master In Equity for this county to
take tbe place made vacant by tbe death oi
Walter L. Miller. Judge Lyon aud L. W.
Perrln, Esq., are applicants for the appointment.
Tbe Governor says that he has decided
to refer the matter to the Senator and Rep
resenlatlves from mis county, as nus oeeu uik
rule In these matters.
If, however, the delegation should fall to
agree or declines to recommend, why then be
will be free to use his best Judgment in making
tbe appointmetil.
Different Ways of Opening:.
There are different methods of opening different
things. For instance:
Hank vaults are opened with dynamite.
Store doors are opened with keys.
Political meetings and Sunday Schools are
opened with prayer.
Circus performances are opened with music
and the riding ot horses.
A Game of poker 1b opened with "chips."
Base ball Is opened with good feeling and
-. closed by a flght.
Keeping Pace WJtb the Trnsfs.
Barnhardt Bros. & Splndler, of Chicago,
constantly remind us of two things:
First?That they are in no combine or trust
Second?'Xbat they raise their price to match
tbe price of ne trust.
Since the formation of tbe trust tbe price
of type and other printing material has been
raised about quarterly. In six months those
who are not in any combine or trust will be
charging a price far In excess of the amonnts
which was formerly charged.
"He Wan a Gentleman."
Id writing a private letter a friend says of
the late Walter L. Miller:
"He was a man whose Integrity was incorruptible,
and stood four squared to all the
winds that blew. He was a gentleman. Peace
to his ashes."
Various newspapers have made most kindly
mention of the deceased. Among the number
is the Greenville Mountaineer. Mr. Miller
bad many friends. All who ''knew him
respected him.
K' i-"1' ' -' - <
The speech of Hon. A. C. Latimer on .^be
Loud bill In reference to seoond olfss mail
matter is exactly right. The government H'
belDg swindled out of immense sotns every
year by the carrying of advertisements and
books at the rates on which netvBpapereare
carried.
If the Democrats in 1850, thought Cuba was
worm siuu.uuu.uuu, wnai is ine ihibdu worm iu
1900? If Cuba be worth 3100,000,000 bow mocb
Is tbe Philippines worth? A thousand millions
would be no consideration at all for
these valuable islands.
m ?
All effort to make popularity out of antlexpansion
theories will fall. This country Is
settling down to tbe oonvictlon "that we can
and ought to bold the islands wblcb we acquired
from Spain.
Senator McLauren need have no fears as to
tbe result of his vote for the Paris treaty of
pcace. He voted right, and the people will
sustain the act.
Tbe Democratic) party stands s-quarely
against tbe robbery of Porto Rico under tbe
forms of law. And Senator Tillman stands
for Justice and right in this matter.

'Tifi said that misfortunes neveri come singly.
A few mornings ago one of Mr. J, M,
Daniels' mules was lound with its tongue cut
out. It is not known how it occuned, but 11
is supposed that another mule bit it off. The
tongue was found in the trough.

Mr. W.L. Bowman went to Abbeville on
Thursday.
Quite a lively trade has spruDg up in old
irons. A few years ago these things were
thrown aside as being in the way. Other
kinds of trash could be burned and gotten rid
of In that way, not so with irons. The late
craze was and is particularly strong with tbe
little boys, and some of the young ladies have
engaged in the industry to raise a lltty pin
money, and old wagons and buggies have
been burned to get the irons.
A few days ago this writer took a ride of
sfirppfti miles and in that distance rode over
amlleor twoof, he doubts not, the worst
road In tbe county. Near Mr. JobnT. Bas
kin's there are some bills, as every one knows
who lias been tbere, that requires considerable
horseaud mule strength to pull up. In
going up, and hold back in going down. This
road was put in pretty good fix last year but
tttfe hard rains since have washed such gullies
in each of the wheel tracks that It is dangerous
to undertake to either drlvo or haul
over them, and the road 1b so narrow that
there is no chance to get on either side of
them.

W. D. Mann, of Autrevllle, was in town one
day last week. Until recently he was a memberof
the Legislature, and has always been
and is to-day one of the best men tn Abbeville

his worth and his integrity, elected him Director
in the Penitentiary. In speaking of
tbe penitentiary and the accommodations or
comfort that is afforded to tbe convicts.be
says he is In favor of great reform, and we
ha vn n? iinnhf. thnt. t.hfi urgency of the demand
for better treatment, supplemented by bis
own earnestness, will be effective.
As a farmer Captain Mann is not getting
ready to plow up any of bis oats, but he In
very much afraid tbey ;are of no account, In
whlcb case he mtght have to enlarge his cotton
acreage. Capt. Mann is flrBt cousin to

5 -oo d doe ted that paper (or Ave days its he
' thought Chrlat would have ran It bad He
been placed in charge oHt, to talk about his
experience as editor; Mr Sheldon said : "I
am not ready to make "a statement; X will
let it go to tbe world "^pd do what It will
without worde from "me.'* "But, aren't yon
goiog to taltc about "it some time t" persisted
the reporter. "Certainly,"' Mr Sheldon
replied,"! will "tell of my experience as
editor in toy "lectures this simper and fail in
England "and the United States."
After Steve Brodie Jumped oil tbe Brooklyn
B^dge, he made au exhibition of himself in
tbe dance halls and barrooms of New York as
the man who bad made that iearfal leap.
Mrs Langtry. and Mr& Leslie Carter, ahd Mrs
James Brown Potter, aud Olga Netbersoie
have made capital out of the sandals with
which they have been associated. Bob Fltxslmmons
and Jim Corbett and John L.
Sullivan, and all tbe rest of the bralsers and
blackguards, who have done anything to
attract pubilo attention, have employed sach
reputation as they have gained tor < the
purpose of advertising themselves as great
attractions. i
And now oomes tbe Rev Mr Sheldon, a
regularly ordained minister of the Chdrob,
has mafia hlflinlF "hail fftllflW. Well
"mei" with the Master, and who attempted 1
to ran a Kansas newspaper "as Christ ,
would do it," declaring that it Is his porpwe'
to tell of "my experience as editor In my '
lectures this summer and "tall in England
and ibe United Btatee." That is not what
Christ would have done, surely. But wbat
better oould be expected of this so-called
Christian teacher, who did not permit any-)
thihg to be printed in the To pen a Capital, ,
advertisements, or news, or other matter,
which had not passed under his censorship, '
and yet who printed the following among l
advertisements of "Sunflower Pants," "Infallible
Skirt Rale," etc, as we are assured by
the New York Tribune:
STIB THE SUBSOIL DEEP. !
To let in the rains, that refresh the earth. <
Otherwise a large portion of moisture
graciously sent by our Heavenly Father is \
wasted by running off from the surface. <
's Subsoil Plow accomplishes' the |
stirring, as we believe would please Jesus, (
who said let nothing be lost. ]
Also, 's improved Potato Digger,

Commenting npon this advertisement, l
" "ted in the Capital nAder the manage nt
of Mr Sheldon, the Tribune makes'the i
I jwlng indignant protest: ' t
"Such Is, we are to assume, the Rev Mr r
I Sheldon's idea of an advertisement 'at Christ *
would write It.' Blame's piougn piougna as
Christ would plough. Blank's potato digger j
digs potatoes as Christ would dig them, j
Shall we not presently have sanitary. plumb- (
log such as 'would please JesusT"
"To every man of healthful, decent mind, 1
Dot to say of rellidous disposition, the objurgations
of an angfr truck driver must,
seem pure and reverent by the aide of tblr
revolting, studied sacrilege paraded in tbe
name ot Jesus the Christ by this'Rev.'.Mr. 1
Sheldon. A subsoil plough that works .'as
we believe would please Jesus.' Faugh! It \
reeks of the Black Mass, and calls for spirit- j
ual civet to sweeten the Imagination." . i
And yet, good men, who are working for
the uplifting of mankind and pious people,
are distressed at the godlessness of this pre- t
sent generation, and tbe little Interest that Is g
manifested In spiritual concerns. What Mr.
Sheldon did in tbe way of bringing Christ into
familiar association after the forms of
Kansas society in the five days of hli editorial
conduot of tbe Capital, it will take the newspaper
men who manage that paper a generation
to overcome. V. ^

Prayer.
Teach us to pray, is a meaningless
petition un less we nave studied in the
iohool of nraver and come to know our
need of teaching in this school. No
3ommand8 oradmonitlons of the Bible
ire so poorly understood and appreciated
as those pertaining to prayer.
Prayer is not alone petition an anjwer,
nor do praise and thanksgiving
idded complete prayer. Nor is iis purpose
to make the subject bow to his
sovereign. Its chief elemeut of blessing
day by day and year after year, is
chat it brings us intoeommunion with
our Lord, and this very blessing is the
answer to many of our petitions that
ire not answered in the poor way that
nre have desired. Many more of our
prayers are answered than we think;
ill are answered in blessing to the petitioner.

God multiplies His favors. Day by i
lay, and hour by bour,' they come
irooping along according to existing
need. So continuous and opportune are
mercies and bounties tbat we too often
&ke them as a matter of course, attri- i
aute them to secondary causes and
Tail to trace them, with due intelligence
?nd gratitude, to their divine source.
Never ought the Hand that feeds us,
ind the Heart which responds in love,
sympathy, and kindness, be forgotten
)r unacknowledged. Goodness ever
jeserves recognition.
